A dialysis chair is a fixed asset: whether it runs 1 or 3 sessions a day, the rent and depreciation are the same. Utilization converts that fixed base into revenue — going from 1 to 2 shifts doubles top-line potential on the same capital. This calculator turns your schedule and actuals into one number to track weekly.
Compare utilization across your centers: the difference between a 65% and 90% center of the same size is often the entire profit margin. It is the first KPI to review when revenue lags.
Efficient use of capacity, but little slack for no-shows, machine downtime, or growth. Plan capacity additions before you hit 95%.
Room to add patients or tighten the schedule. Review no-show patterns and shift allocation.
Capacity is underused — investigate patient volume, scheduling gaps, and whether shift structure matches demand.
